I'd Rather Get To Know You Than Small Talk
I like it when someone says 'how are you?', they actually care to know, and not only a formality to "break the ice" with.

Unfortunately, it has become a standard informality type of statement.
Case in point, I asked a co-worker today. "Hey! How ya doing?" She didn't look at me and said "Good Good" and kept on walking. So.. I stopped her with "Really? Good Good? Not just Good or Great or even Fantastic?" she then realized she made an informality and apologized.
I could not agree with you more. Just say hello and be done with it if that is how you're going to be.
